Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

"Now, are you glad?

Barberide-Warsoon has asked as he whispers after Halberg went to tell the Legion Chiefs of Gandhia that Mion Lion's reign was complete.

A thunderstorm encompasses the capital of Myon. Heavy rain sounds and brisk strong winds could be called the storm itself. He thought that a storm more intense than the battle in Myon Lion seemed to blow everything away. No, you want it to be.

Would there have been more meaningless fights than this one?

(No. It made sense...)

When he shook his head in his chest, he glanced at Barberide. The harsh look on the part of the White Heaven Battle Commander is nothing more than because he perceives the heart of Hulberg. He and only a few surviving knights know that.

"Oh. There was nothing more than this. There's no better way than this."

"But..."

"I know. I know. But to me..."

What passes behind his brain is a question with Isius.

"To be honest, it's not a big deal about losing Myon. If we lose Malus and the future of this country is rejected, there is nothing to cast a shadow on the future of our people."

Isius has cut it out that way, keeping an eye on Hulberg. His clear eyes are something that gives him a definite sense of intelligence, which seems very unlikely to lead to such outrages. And it didn't even seem like Isius was lying about the snuff on the spot.

"I am nothing but a king at the beginning of the tentative I had little or no involvement in national politics. I left everything to Mars-Barr. It's because I knew that was the best, and, in fact, it became right. Mion came back to life and became a rich country. It has become a country alongside Gandhia and Lucion. Thanks to Mars-Barr for everything."

And it came to pass, when Isius uttered the name of Mars-Barr, that his temptation was full of mercy. For him, it's about figuring out who Mars-Barr doesn't like.

"I'm glad I'm a Mars-Barr puppet. I'm glad I'm a puppet sitting on the throne. I'm glad I just exist to acquiesce in his policies. Because that's all this country has gotten better. I have to speak no words, and not move like a stone. That should have been good."

He shook his head small after a long, long silence.

"But I am human. He's a willing man. It's not a doll. No, not a puppet."

Isius, after saying it out, gave himself a slightly mocking look. While I assure you, I guess it's because I can't deny the reality that it was a doll. but Hulberg didn't laugh at him. Halberg is also just a mere being given the role of Prince of Lucion. There is no such thing as winning by force.

The status of prince, the fact that he took Linonclair as his wife, and the position that he was with Leongand, were all born to the first son of Halwar king of Lucion.

There is nothing more stubborn in me than Isius' confession.

(doll... puppet...)

Until now Halberg has moved as the Father King Halwar Ray-Lucion intended. There is nothing wrong with Halwar. Marriage to Linonclair was also an arrangement between Halwar and Siuscloud, and there was no fact that Halberg's will intervened there. Everything is my father's will, my thoughts.

And another will, dominating him.

Leongando Ray-Gandia. The person who was the brother of his wife, Linonclair, and for Halberg, his brother-in-law, was no longer in the position of allies of the anti-Kruselk coalition. There's no way Halberg could have done that, such as disobeying his will. If you do not obey his will, Lucion may also follow the same fate as Myon.

(That's right. This is reality)

Gandhia lined up in a powerful country at once. In the past, a country that could only have a degree of combat alongside Lucion and was significantly inferior to Lucion when it came to soldier proficiency, became a country that no longer boasted military power well above Lucion. It is horrible to even express our views on the way we treat our allies. Although Hulberg used his brother-in-law's position to make his point, he thought he would buy Leongand's wrath in the heart.

Do not buy Leongand's wrath.

Even Halwar was so powerful a country called Gandhia as to advise Halberg. If Gandhia cares about it, it's easy to swallow Lucion.

That, if you look at the current state of Myon, you'll see.

With only as much power as Myon, Lucion is impossible to fight Gandhia on an equal footing.

(In the first place, you don't have to fight. His Majesty Isius knew that. That's right......!

"I am, Your Highness, Halberg. I remember dreams."

"Dreams..."

"Reality makes you forget your dreams sometimes. Obstructing the pursuit of dreams. As long as I look at reality, I can't follow a dream or anything, but the situation sticks to reality. Reality for me is the status quo of Myon, Mars-Barr. This country and the presence of a true king ruling this country made me forget my dreams"

To Halberg, I could not pinch an extra word in his confession. Isius seems to have something to tell Halberg.

(Dreams...)

"I guess I wish I hadn't remembered, like a dream. If I didn't remember, if I only looked at reality, I wouldn't have chosen this kind of path either. I wish I had given Mars-Barr his neck and seen Myon decay with Gandhia's dog. That's my business."

"Your Majesty..."

"Has Your Highness ever dreamed?

In response to Isius' inquiry, he did not have the words to answer.

"My dream was next to His Majesty Leongand. No, you're not. I'm sure I wanted to be Your Majesty. I admired the appearance of His Majesty, who dreamed and marched toward his goal while being slandered. I saw the light in His Majesty. I thought there was light ahead of His Majesty."

"Then why!

Hulberg vandalized his voice. What Isius is saying was a mess. I guess that's why. Suddenly I got angry.

"Then why didn't you show His Majesty your sincerity!

To the cry of Halberg, Isius' SS laid a sword, but Isius controlled it with his hands. I can't stop the air from getting stuck.

"Kyou-soon..."

"His Majesty loved and believed His Majesty Isius! Wasn't it also the late, trusted by His Majesty Isius, that he was told to forgive with one of Mars-Barr's necks!

"I would have, Your Highness. I remember my dreams."

Isius' eyes were somewhere arrogant. One of those attitudes shows that he wasn't taking care of his majesty as king. Maybe it's qualities as a born royalty.

He has what's missing from Hulberg.

"If we follow reality, we can't follow our dreams. You have to follow your dreams. If you want to follow your dreams and die along the way, you can also die full."

"What are you talking about! Still, are you the king of one country!

"That's right. I am Isius Ray-Mion, king of Mion. Only then will these men be here ready to give up their lives, according to my will."

What Isius showed us was about the SS knights. All were well-known knights in the Trinity Alliance. I had heard about Isius imitating Leongand to create the Royal SS, but I couldn't even imagine Halberg adding the knights of the fingerfold even in Myon.

but it wasn't surprising given that Isius was the original Leongando SS itself, an organization that brought together some of the best in Gandia.

Some knights are familiar with Hulberg, but they only recognize Hulberg as the enemy to be defeated, having poured everything into the royal life. His gaze caged him in homicide.

"If you are a king of a country, if you are an exchanger, you should see reality more than you dreamed! For the people, for the country!

"Yes, I guess that's the right way to see and think about things. I am wrong. I made a stupid decision. But still, I am satisfied."

Isius pulled out the sword that was on his hips. The sword with its vitreous body was probably made to imitate Gandia's treasure sword Glass Orion. I caught a glimpse of Isius' fanaticism of Leongando, but I didn't even want to think that the madness made him run into this kind of behavior.

"For I, at last, have become myself"

As Isius' SS pulled out his sword, so did Hulberg and his knights.

"How is Your Highness? Dreams or reality, which one are you looking at?

Halberg silenced Isius's inquiry as he admitted that the cut of the sword he pulled out seemed to tremble.

(Dream...... say it's a dream)

A fierce battle broke out.

The SS of Isius was wiped out, four White Saints were killed and several suffered minor injuries.

Hulberg also suffered a hand injury.

(Dreams...)

In a space where the smell of blood spread, he looked into Isius's eyes. Isius was only dressed for one person, but the sword's arms were not first-rate. I don't know the actual battle. There was no way we could have fought Halberg. After he exchanged swords several times, he dropped his sword and collapsed to the spot.

"Ha... in the swordsmanship of the burning blade, don't you have any enemies"

The boy's eyes, looking back at this one, were trembling. There is fear. If a man who does not know the actual battle is thrown into the battlefield, so will it.

Halberg, I just felt sorry for him.

"Naturally. How many battlefields do you think I have transcended?"

"That, too, is true. Exactly. I did not know the true battle. Yet, he spoke of his dreams and drove everyone to death. Stupid story."

"No way, what are you talking about? It's about you, wise man. You knew it from the beginning."

"Yeah. I knew. I knew it. I could see it coming. But still, I wanted to be me. I wanted to cut the thread."

Isius had a strangely neat face.

"I wanted to cut the thread that manipulated my destiny."

(Manipulative yarn of fate...... Mars-Barr yarn...... curse)

A curse that ruled the life of a boy named Isius.

This battle may have been a ritual to break that curse.

I guess I had to. Otherwise, I guess he couldn't have been him. I guess this fight was necessary for him to be him.

"Now slay me. I die as Isius Ray-Mion. I can't be happier. Your Highness lives in reality. Survive a world without dreams."

Hulberg raised his sword.

Isius' cold smile only seemed strong.

"There was no other way."

Hulberg told him to tell himself.

In the palace, the noise is getting louder.

Apparently, the squadrons of the Royal Gandhian SS "Lion's Tail" were the source of noise, but it was only seen as a deafening hustle and bustle in Hulberg today.

Gandhian troops were struck by a cavalry ambush led by Gilbert-Hardy on their way to Mion Lion, but the armed summoners at Lion's Tail were said to have done nothing but minor injuries, and Gandhian troops were also victorious by their activism.

Assault General Gilbert-Hardy died in battle, and it seems his cavalry was not an exaggeration when it came to total annihilation.

The palace of Mion Lion was full of Gandhian army generals, but there was nothing like boiling down to victory. The same goes for Lucion's generals and for Berel's generals.

The fact that we destroyed our allies must have made the victory vain. Everyone was in that void. The Lion's Tail squadrons also just seemed to be cheering up the air. If you don't, there's air full of palaces that you can't do.

Only one, Halberg, held something else in his vanity.

(Dreams…?)

He felt like he woke up.

No, rather, I may have fallen into a dream.

"Barberide, do me a favor later"

He nodded silently as Halberg looked back at the White Heaven Battle Captain.
